So recently, I just got back to playing PBB. It's been months since playing this game and I'm glad to be finally playing it again and lucky me, there's an event.

At the moment, the event is the Halloween Event which just ended and MY GOD, the last moments of it *for me atleast was STRESSFULL.

Basically what happened was, I was at Rosecove trying to wait for the sun to set ingame so I can finally catch Marshadow (Yes, I am aware that it was the last day but at my timezone it was around 10am so I have like 2 hours until it turns to Oct 31 in the US). So the sun has finally set as I chat ingame "Time to catch Marshadow!" and as I click enter, and I kid you not this is what actually happens, a timer appears stating that 10 minutes are left so save your game etc. etc. EVERYONE IN THE GAME WAS FLIPPING OUT and also me, I WAS PANICKING considering that I HAVE 10 MINUTES TO FIND THE PORTAL TO MARSHADOW IN ALL THE POSSIBLE LOCATIONS. I immediately chatted ingame to help me find the portal, one guy said he'd look at Cosmeos Valley and I check the other locations. The other players were just chill and there are the other players who are just asking where the portal is cause they haven't caught Marshadow yet.

The whole situation was pretty tense, I activated max repel as I quickly go through Route 9 and 10 to see iff the portal's there (considering those are the closest routes). Then I flew and surfed to Lagoona Lake to still no sight of the portal. The guy chatted that the portal was not in Cosmeos Valley as I go to Route 11 and find that the portal is still not there. "ROUTE 12!", I chatted to the game while running through the gate and Aredia to go to Route 12 and still, it was not there. I panicked cause I thought thouse are all the locations until somebody typed that they found it in the Icy Lake. I thought to myself "oh yeah i forgot lols", then I flew to Frostveil and immediately to the Icy Lake.

I finally found it! As 3 minutes remain to the timer, I quickly ran through the pathway and I spammed clicking the location of where to eyes would appear to trigger the encounter. Now the fun part begins as my lvl43 Nidoking comes out to lower this Marshadow's health. I first used a quickball but it immediately broke out. I used two Earth Power to lower its health to yellow, panicking having 2 minutes left I switched into Mimikyu so I can faint attack it to make its health to red, I got everything planned to lowering its health and then spamming duskballs and ultraballs but here my friends, is where I made a mistake. No, it didn't faint due to the faint attack, THE MARSHADOW KILLED ITSELF TRYING TO DO HIGH JUMP KICK FFS. It missed the move and it did recoil (mygod thinking about it still makes me feel so angry). At this point I was just furious because I should've atleast threw a Duskball to atleast have a small chance of capturing it.

A minute remains as I stand in the void with a fainted Marshadow that I never caught. I mean to be honest it was my fault for trying to capture it in the last day but still, had it not missed I'm pretty sure I would've caught it. So yeah, that's pretty much it to my story. I wasn't as lucky in the last few moments I would say and it was dumb for me to not just spammed dusk balls and ultra balls considering I wouldn't save anyway if I hadn't caught it. The timer comes to 0 then I get disconnected to the game as I instantly made regrets to the decision that I have made and the results that came with it. *sigh

farewell dear Marshadow, you shouldn't have missed that high jump kick, that was very dumb of you.
